Ex-Staff Drag FMBN To Industrial Court
Mr Peter Okuwe on behalf of seven other former employees of the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN) last Wednesday dragged the bank before the National Industrial Court in Abuja.
They are challenging the termination of their appointments in the suit to which the managing director of the bank is joined as defendant.
They alleged that the defendants unlawfully terminated their appointments in March 2010 without following the bank’s condition of service.
The claimants prayed the court to declare the termination of appointment illegal, unlawful, null and void, and of no effect.
They also prayed the court to order the defendants to reinstate them, pay their salaries, damages and entitlements from March 2010 till the date of judgment.
The Presiding Judge, Justice Peter Lifu, adjourned the case to January 28, and ordered all parties to file and serve court processes before the date.
